Since the 1990s, Judith Hopf has developed a distinctive artistic language that spans sculpture, film, drawing, performance, and stage design. In her works, Hopf addresses social inscriptions and power structures in political and private realms, as well as the impact of visible and invisible architectures, technologies, and objects on the human body and its movements. Often referencing everyday as well as modernist and postmodernist aesthetics, and employing materials such as brick, concrete, and glass, her works challenge habitual views, representations, and behaviors.
